LANGUAGE ARTS

Our spelling words generally relate to the story or unit of concentration. If the story is in the textbook, words will relate to that story. If the story is not part of our reading text, the words will relate to the theme we are studying. We have also been practicing alphabetical order and using guide words to locate words in a glossary or dictionary. Students have been reviewing sentence structure and working to improve the sentences they write. Phonics: Skills that we have covered are listed below. Students can practice these with games online and in their reading and writing. Short vowels: /a/,/e/,/i/,/o/,/u/ - Syllable Patterns: VC/CV - Endings: -ed, -ing - Vowel Digraphs: ee, ea, ay, ai, oa, ow
